Directed by Tony Award winner Des McAnuff (Jersey Boys, The Who's Tommy), Jesus Christ Superstar was a critical hit at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Ontario, where it played an extended, sold-out run. It arrives on Broadway following an engagement at the La Jolla Playhouse.

Superstar will officially open on Broadway March 22.

The Broadway cast features Paul Nolan as Jesus Christ, Josh Young as Judas Iscariot, Chilina Kennedy as Mary Magdalene, Tom Hewitt as Pontius Pilate, Bruce Dow as King Herod, Marcus Nance as Caiaphas and Aaron Walpole as Annas.
